Re: [Repeater-Builder] 1-day scanner sale - RS PRO-83 1/2 Price
As a Radioshack dealer, I will agree that this is one of the nicest little scanners that they came out with. At first looks of it, I was not impressed, with on hands playing with it at the show, it made it's way into the store. Although the sale ended today, I am certain that it will be going on sale numerous times throughout the year. I can't tell you when, but it will. Check with some of your dealer stores, not company owned, and they may be willing to honor the $60.00 price if they have any left. Mathew Forwarded to WA6ILQ by another mailing list... Subject: 1-day scanner sale - RS PRO-83 1/2 Price Had to go to Radio Shack today for work, which turned out good for me. Today (Nov. 26) ONLY the PRO-83 is $59.99, 1/2 off. This is a non- trunking scanner. It covers the normal VHF and UHF scanner frequencies (i.e. no mil air) and 800/900 MHz. It has ten banks of memories, with 20 memories per bank. What sets this scanner apart is the feature called Signal Stalker Search. This functions in a manner similar to the Optoelectronics Scout's ability to reaction tune a receiver by detecting nearby transmissions. I use a Scout - Smart Line - Bearcat combination, and the PRO-83 is comparable, better is some ways and worse in others (one improvement is that everything is in one box). If you had a Scout / Smartline / Bearcat you could be within 50 feet of someone with a handheld and when they squeezed the PTT you'd instantly have the TX freq and PL. This can be useful in many situations. The RS scanner - at $60 - is handy for just this feature. In addition you get a 10m/low band / 6m / aircraft / 2m / highband / UHF / 800 / 900 mhz scanner that you can load up with frequencies from your PC. Get them while they are in stock !!!

They are very large, and VERY delicate. Banging around in a commvan, or a trailer, or any other frequent transport, will result in detuning, and likely damage. Agreed. UHF is a MUCH better plan for a portable repeater, ...or go to a wide (2.5 MHz) split on 2 meters. Many 6-section VHF mobile duplexers can be tuned just down to this spacing.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Co-Phasing two Sinclair SRL-210C4 repeater antennas
When cophasing two antenna's I think they usually use 1/4 Waves of 75 Ohm or 35 Ohm cable. If you feed it with 50 ohm cable, the harness that is, you will have 100 Ohms at the feedpoint. So then you need something to change that. In building an eme array, we used 1/4 and 1/2 waves of 50 ohm cable, but they had to be exact. Mathew - Original Message - When we co phased 2 11M.

I think you would just use odd 1/4 wave electrical harness between the two. I know how to calculate the lenght of the coax. Correct, but be sure to use 75 ohm coax. The odd 1/4 wave of 75 ohm will transform the antennas' impedance from 50 ohms to 100 ohms. Putting the two in parallel with a T gets you back to 50 ohms.

How far apart should the bottom element of the first antenna and the top element of the second antenna? I'm not sure, but my guess would be to use the same spacing as between the elements on the individual antennas. With your varying dipole orientation and distance from the tower you'll probably get an interesting pattern. Roger Grady K9OPO Yahoo!

Transmitter-Isolator-Cavity-"Porcupine" - Antenna. I want to tune this as best as I can, but don't want to spend large amounts of time hacking off coax :-) Any formula would be appreciated.

At the top in the rear I installed a vent and fan. I hook the fan up to a t-stat so that when the box got above 70 degrees the fan would come on and pull air up from the bottom and out the back at the top where the fan was located. In the winter i used the light bulb that was in the refridg. That was also hooked up to a t-stat so in the colder months the light bulb would come on and heat the box up.The key was to remember to change t-stats with the seasons so they weren't fighting each other.

Hello My call sign is KB4ZGO . I have a project in mind and would like to run my idea past the group. I am familiar with somethings and not with others, so I may get some help or suggestions from the group. I would like to build a simplex repeater on either 2 meters or 440Mhz. I have looked at several controlers from NHRC and Hamtronics and found that it is possible to configure a simplex repeater using something like The NHRC-3-90 which is retired . Using the NHRC-3-90 controler with a GE Master Executive II or simular equipment from Motorola can be done . I would like to know if anyone could suggest any other equipment that could be used ? I know that Radio shack had a simplex COS simplex repeater unit years ago and has been discontinued. Those little units were mainly used for hand held equipment.I would like to build at MONSTOR simplex repeater using a COS controller and some type of high power transceiver to work with the controler. I know it may sound dumb or stupid but heck I's still experimenting ! hi hi! thanks 73 de KB4ZGO Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Cabinet Suggestions
Thats all fine and good until your temp controls fail and you cook the whole thing! You already have a controlled environment,why chance failure? Better to use quality equipment to begin with that doesnt need any extra help. I doubt any tower site owner would allow a fridge as a cabinet or the poor quality equipment that needed it. Just put fans on the power amp and power supply heatsinks,at least if they fail,it will still have some chance of convection cooling.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Cabinet Suggestions
Cooling: This can normally be done with lots of moving air, Air Conditioning is not always necessary. You could use 2 fans, one small one thermostatically controlled to cool the cabinet to maybe 75 degrees. I would have a second larger fan to take care of the really hot times, maybe set at 80 degrees. This would give you redundancy in cooling. I worked for several paging companies in the past and some of the sites were 120 degrees or more in the summer. As long as the fans kept working, the equipment did not fail. The most important thing when moving air is to make sure that you use filters and clean them often. The openings also need to be made rodent proof or you will have a mess. Heating: I use a 40 watt light bulb in my repeater for heat. I have it plugged into a Freeze Alarm unit and set it to 55 degrees. The Freeze Alarm is something used up in the North that you normally plug a light into and put the light in your front window. If your heat goes off while you are away in Florida for the winter, it will alert your neighbor that there is a problem with your heating system. This works well and I probably will put two of these in my repeater this year. Last year, the light bulb burnt out a couple of times, probably from being turned on and off so many times. 73, Joe, K1ike --- Robin Staebler [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote I am thinking about security and ventilation.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Cabinet Suggestions
I guess i should have mention that was my first atempt at repeater building back in the early 80's. It was located on a hill behind my house and not a commerical site. I did however use it for several years with no problems. I would have to agree that you would never want to drag a set up like that to a tower site owner location. Mike KA2NDW Thats all fine and good until your temp controls fail and you cook the whole thing! You already have a controlled environment,why chance failure? Better to use quality equipment to begin with that doesnt need any extra help. I doubt any tower site owner would allow a fridge as a cabinet or the poor quality equipment that needed it. Just put fans on the power amp and power supply heatsinks,at least if they fail,it will still have some chance of convection cooling. Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Cabinet Suggestions My first repeater was installed in a refridgerator that i gutted. I didn,t have temp comp rocks in the setup so keeping the temp steady was the goal. The refg. i pick was one with the freezer in the bottom.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Transmitter combiners
Gareth, For two transmitters the length of the circulator to porcupine jumper would be 5/8 wavelength in coax. When these two are parrelled the common impedanceis 25+j25 ohm. Looking at the Smith chart it looks like a paralleled s/c stub of -j25 would acheive a match to 50 ohm. Putting these figures into lengths of RG213: Circulator to porcupine jumper0.85m s/c stub 0.58m I dont know how many transmitters you are combining,the stub impedance is -j16ohm for 3 transmitters and -j12 for four. There are lots of good transmission line calculators available on a google search.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] 1-day scanner sale - RS PRO-83 1/2 Price
200 channels, no trunking, $60... Not a value with all the Pro 94s and BC-235s/245s on the market for the same or better price. It's amazing how RS corporate seems to think much of their stuff is a deal. EX: I got a Verbatim 256MB USB drive for $9.95.at Microcenter this morning. RS had a Door Buster 128MB for double the price. Mathew Quaife wrote: As a Radioshack dealer, I will agree that this is one of the nicest little scanners that they came out with. At first looks of it, I was not impressed, with on hands playing with it at the show, it made it's way into the store. Although the sale ended today, I am certain that it will be going on sale numerous times throughout the year. I can't tell you when, but it will. Check with some of your dealer stores, not company owned, and they may be willing to honor the $60.00 price if they have any left. Mathew Forwarded to WA6ILQ by another mailing list... Subject: 1-day scanner sale - RS PRO-83 1/2 Price Had to go to Radio Shack today for work, which turned out good for me. Today (Nov. 26) ONLY the PRO-83 is $59.99, 1/2 off. This is a non- trunking scanner. It covers the normal VHF and UHF scanner frequencies (i.e. no mil air) and 800/900 MHz. It has ten banks of memories, with 20 memories per bank. What sets this scanner apart is the feature called Signal Stalker Search. This functions in a manner similar to the Optoelectronics Scout's ability to reaction tune a receiver by detecting nearby transmissions. I use a Scout - Smart Line - Bearcat combination, and the PRO-83 is comparable, better is some ways and worse in others (one improvement is that everything is in one box). If you had a Scout / Smartline / Bearcat you could be within 50 feet of someone with a handheld and when they squeezed the PTT you'd instantly have the TX freq and PL. This can be useful in many situations. The RS scanner - at $60 - is handy for just this feature. In addition you get a 10m/low band / 6m / aircraft / 2m / highband / UHF / 800 / 900 mhz scanner that you can load up with frequencies from your PC. Get them while they are in stock !!!

Hello All, In duplex you will NOT want to use things like Belden 9913 or times LMR, 400 or even 600. Use a good Hard-line type coax. Your jumpers can be 1/25 or 1/2 between your tx, amp, circulator and duplexer on the receiver side between rx and the duplexer or pre-amp if needed. Your feed to your antenna will all ways be a type of hard line coax. Build it right the 1st time and it will serve both you and your users for years to come.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Cabinet Suggestions
During the early seventies, I was working for a 2-way radio shop in the Los Angeles area. One very hot summer day, one of our customers complained his base station had apparently quit so I was dispatched to repair it. The base was in a unventilated two car garage on a hill top. After I had arrived at the site, I opened the garage door and could barely stand the heat inside. A couple of minutes later, I went to the customers base station cabinet and felt the cabinet temperature - almost burned my hand. Those days, there were many systems that were still vacuum tube ... including this one. The crystals were installed in 85 degree centigrade ovens to stabilize the temperature. The service monitor showed the transmit and receive frequencies were low by 4 or 5 kHz - meaning the crystals were too hot. At that point in my career, my fingers were used to sensing crystal oven temperature so I reached for the separate ovens to see if they had overheated - they hadn't. I left the cabinet door open for a half hour or more to allow the radio and cabinet to cool off. Then I measured the frequencies again ... had drifted back on frequency so I closed up the equipment, the garage and departed. The point here is the radio and cabinetry had been hotter than the 85 degree centigrade crystal ovens (185 degree F) and had began to control the crystal temperature and thereby the frequency. Since we didn't control the garage, we left it to the customer to contact the site owner. For you Motorola types: The tube equipment involved was most likely a C53GKB-3100A Station The receiver was a Series Sensicon 'G' receiver because it had the Private Line circuitry on it. There were three versions of the 60 watt 5 wide transmitter chassis: The Series 'A' - used an 829B final tube; The little used Series 'J' - used a pair of 6146's as the final tubes; The Series 'K' - used an 5894 final tube. In this installation, it was most likely the series 'K' transmitter strip as it also had the Private Line circuitry on it. For you General Electric types, the competition radio to the Motorola C53GKB Series was the Progress Line Station. (Yes, I used to service them too.) --- My experience with incandescent light bulbs is if you really need long life, place two in series ... or as I did one time, a silicon diode in series with one lamp. Early in the 1980's, a friends housing rental came up empty and he contacted me to go in, clean and make it ready for the next renter. Inside, I found a used RC Cola lighted sign / clock. One of the two 25 watt light bulbs was burned out. I took it home, cleaned it up, wired the two light sockets in series and installed a pair of 40 watt bulbs. Then I hung that sign / clock in my bathroom as a night light. Late 1998, I sold my place and relocated to another part of the state. Those two 40 watt lightbulbs were still in service ... but the clock motor was so noisy, you could hear it a couple of rooms away. 73, (NOT 73's) Neil McKie - WA6KLA Joe wrote: Cooling: This can normally be done with lots of moving air, Air Conditioning is not always necessary.

My folks had a swimming pool in the back yard of their souther calif. home and the 400 watt bulb in the underwater light used to burn out every 8 months. Changing it was a major PITA due to the poorly designed waterproofing of the fixture. And the bulb was a special shape for pool lights, and was $20 (and that was in 1970 vintage dollars). My solution was to reduce the frequency of the burnouts. I took a ceramic heating element with a light-bulb-screw-base and stripped it of 80-90% of the nichrome wire and put it in series with the pool light so that the voltage across the bulb was around 100 volts. That was in 1983. The same bulb is still in service. Another trick was used by IBM on the old (1970s and 1980s) mainframe computers that had hundreds of incandescent bulbs on the front panels. Their research said that the bulbs burn out due to the inrush current into the cold, low resistance filament. The resistance ramps up rapidly with filament temperature. Their solution was to add a resistor in parallel with each open collector lamp driver so that the current through the resistor kept the filament at a dull, dull red, and the driver transistor shorted out the resistor for full brightness. You could also take advantage of the fact that it's an AC circuit and put a capacitor in series with the light bulb to change the voltage vs current phase angles Don't know the value, but years ago when I worked on tube-vintage Moto base stations that had green and red bulls-eye panel lamps for power and PTT on the front panel I found a cap in series with the green power light on a couple of stations... Those with the cap never burned out, those without had a box of bulbs that were left with the dispatcher. Mike WA6ILQ Yahoo!
